The Saints just made it official -- they agreed to a two-year deal to bring back receiver David Patten.

Patten, 33, had a career resurgence in his 11th NFL season last year after signing with the Saints last April. He emerged as the team's No. 2 receiver behind Marques Colston, catching 54 passes for 792 yards and three touchdowns.

The Saints now have their entire receiving corps back together after re-signing Patten, Devery Henderson and Terrance Copper over the past week.

"David stepped into our lineup immediately last season and provided immediate leadership and he was a consistent and dependable target," General Manager Mickey Loomis said in a statement. "He is a consummate professional and his work ethic and leadership skills, coupled with the things he can do on the field made his re-signing a priority for us."

The Saints also confirmed that quarterback Trent Green came to New Orleans for a visit on Monday. Not sure if this means the Saints are intent on upgrading their backup QB position, or if they just have Green rated so highly, they thought he was especially worth a closer look. The Saints' current backup, Jamie Martin, is also an unrestricted free agent.

Green, 37, has been medically cleared to play football this season, despite suffering serious concussions in each of the last two years. In his prime, Green earned two Pro Bowl invites with the Kansas City Chiefs. He has also played with the Chargers, Redskins, Rams and most recently, the Dolphins.
